"Bob may still be sleeping" implies that Bob might still, at this moment, be sleeping.
"Bob may still sleep," on the other hand, implies Bob is thinking about sleeping, but hasn't decided if he will or not, (i.e. "Bob might sleep, but we don't know").
Example Sentences:
"Alice may still be eating" - Alice is eating, right now, as we speak.
"Alice may still eat" - Alice isn't eating right now, but she might start eating soon, or not. We don't know yet.
My Japanese is poor, but it might roughly translate like:
"アリスはまだ食べているかもしれません。"
vs.
"アリスはまだ食べるかもしれない。"
I hope that doesn't make it more confusing!

The first sentence is more of a statement. So if someone asked you what Bob is doing. You could respond with Bob may still be sleeping.
The second statement seems more like a question but the grammar doesn't really make sense.
If you are asking if bob still sleeps I would ask like this.
Is Bob still asleep?
